Kitchen: Pure Black Knives from Stelton

Denmark-based design duo HolmbäckNordentoft created the Pure Black Knives for Stelton (their design effort won a prestigious Red Dot Award in 2011). Made from a single solid piece of steel, the blades of the matte-black knives morph seamlessly into the handles, allowing for extremely accurate cutting. The trio of knives is available from Horne (buy all three and get a 10 percent discount), as well as the contrasting wall-mounted white magnetic knife holder.
